Proteolysis of colicins A, E1, E2, and E3 was observed after they were added to whole cells carrying a functional ompT gene. Recombinant plasmid pML19 containing the ompT gene enabled two mutant strains to cleave the added colicins. On the other hand, two colicin A recombinants were split after release from the wild-type bacteria that produced them but not from ompT mutant cells.
将大肠杆菌素A、E1、E2和E3添加到携带功能性ompT基因的全细胞后,观察到了它们的蛋白水解作用。含有ompT基因的重组质粒pML19使两种突变菌株能够切割添加的大肠杆菌素。另一方面,两种大肠杆菌素A重组体在从产生它们的野生型细菌中释放后会被裂解,但从ompT突变细胞中释放后则不会。
